[PATCH v2 3/9] evm: Implement per signature type decision in security_inode_copy_up_xattr

To support portable and immutable signatures on otherwise unsupported
filesystems, determine the EVM signature type by the content of a file's
xattr. If the file has the appropriate signature then allow it to be
copied up. All other signature types are discarded as before.

"Portable and immutable" EVM signatures can be copied up by stacked file-
systems since the metadata their signature covers does not include file-
system-specific data such as a file's inode number, generation, and UUID.
